DS News: Punk Rock Museum announces new official opening date, first round of festivities
Rejoice, fellow punkers…the opening of the Punk Rock Museum is nigh…almost!
Since Dying Scene was still in hibernation when news of the Punk Rock Museum first really broke, let’s catch you up real quick. Located at 1422 Western Avenue in Las Vegas, the Punk Rock Museum will be a 12,000-square-foot ode to all things punk rock. It was an idea initially concocted by Fat Mike and friends, and will eventually be home to nearly fifty years worth of memorabilia, a bar, a tattoo shop, a wedding chapel, a jam spot, and more.
The official opening date will be March 10, 2023. Starting a couple weeks later – April 1, to be exact – the Museum will be open for guided tours, as given by a who’s who of scene vets. The current list includes:
- Louiche Mayorga from Suicidal Tendencies
- Noodles from The Offspring
- Stacey Dee from Bad Cop/Bad Cop
- Don Bolles from The Germs/45 Graves
- Angelo Moore from Fishbone
- Greg Hetson from Circle Jerks/Punk Rock Karaoke
